“A History of Spanish Piano Music” in “A History Of Spanish Piano Music”
1. Early Spanish Piano Music, 1740-1840
1. According to Ferguson/Keyboard, p.5, the clavichord remained in use in Spain until the early nineteenth century, largely as a practice instrument for organists, and sometimes with a separate pedalboard attached. The term clavicordio indicated harpsichord. Clavichord was designated in Spain by the term monacordio.
2. Chas/Spain, pp.127-128.
3. Anglès/Catálogo I:330-333.
4. The major editions of Scarlatti’s sonatas include Opere complete per clavicembalo, ed. Alessandro Longo (Milan: Ricordi, 1907-1937); Sixty Sonatas Edited in Chronological Order, ed. Ralph Kirkpatrick (New York: G. Schirmer, 1953); Sonatas, ed. Kenneth Gilbert (Paris: Heugel, 1971-); Complete Keyboard Works in Facsimile (from the Manuscript and Printed Sources), ed. Ralph Kirkpatrick (New York: Johnson, 1972). “K” and “L” numbers refer to Kirkpatrick and Longo numbers, respectively.
5. For more recent research on Scarlatti, see Sheveloff/”Scarlatti.”
6. Thomas Roseingrave (1690-1766), English printer and composer, was a friend of Scarlatti’s from their days in Rome.
7. Kirkpatrick/Scarlatti, pp.252-253.
8. Ibid., p.256.
9. For a discussion of the use of the crux in some twentieth-century Spanish sonatas, see Powell/“Halffter.”
10. Recall that the pianoforte was invented in 1709 by the Italian Bartolomeo Cristofori.
11. Kirkpatrick/Scarlatti, pp. 178-184.
12. Apparently some of Scarlatti’s later sonatas do not feature difficult hand-crossings because he became too fat to cross his hands at the harpsichord. See Scholes/Burney, pp.86-87.
13. For futher discussion of guitar effects in Scarlatti’s sonatas, see chapter 4.
14. Scholes/Burney, p.87.
15. I am indebted to Jane Clark for providing me with much information regarding the influence of Spanish folk music on Scarlatti’s sonatas. See Clark/“Scarlatti,” pp. 19-21.
16. Newman/SCE, p.279.
17. Nin tells us in his preface to Vol. II that this sonata comes from a manuscript notebook belonging to the Spanish composer Eduardo López Chavarri (1871-1970). This sonata is also published in Marchi/ Clavicembalisti.
18. Almonte Howell, “The Sonatas of Vincente Rodriguez, A Preliminary Report,” paper presented at the meeting of the South Central Chapter of the American Musicological Society, Danville, Kentucky, April 1, 1977.
19. “Book of Toccatas for the Harpsichord distributed over all the keynotes of the octave, with the proviso that those based on white keys occur with both major and minor thirds, while those on black keys are excepted, and because of the out-of-tuneness of various of the scale degrees, occur only in the least ill-sounding form” (translation by Almonte Howell). We can note from the title that this collection represents a partial “Well-Tempered Clavier,” similar to J.K.F. Fischer’s Ariadne musica.
20. This sonata has been published in Doderer/Spanische.
21. From the preface to Climent/Anglés.
22. According to Diccionario Labor I:79, Anglés was organist of the Valencia Cathedral only from 1762 to 1772.
23. These works are extracts from a manuscript belonging to the noted Spanish pianist José Iturbi. See Nin/Classiques II:ii.
24. According to Climent, the markings in the first seven measures are from the manuscript.
25. Baciero/Nueva Biblioteca I:vii states that Albero was appointed first organist of the Royal Chapel in 1748, but Baciero/Albero I:vii gives the date as 1746.
26. Parrish/“Piano,” p.255.
27. Thus far only two works by this title, out of a projected six, have been made available in Baciero/Nueva Biblioteca I and II.
28. The Albero sonatas are located in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice. Baciero/Albero I:ix gives possible dates of the works as 1755-1756.

30. Sheveloff/“Scarlatti,” p.450.
31. Baciero promises more information on Albero in Baciero/Albero II.
32. See Nin/Classiques I:iv.
33. Thanks to the efforts of Samuel Rubio, seven volumes (120 sonatas) of Soler are available, published by Union Musical Española, Madrid, 1957-1972; these volumes give the sources of the surviving manuscripts. “R” numbers refer to the Rubio edition. Frederick Marvin has also edited several volumes of Soler sonatas, which are published by Mills Music, Inc. In addition, fourteen sonatas can be found in Nin/Classiques —twelve in Vol. I, and two in Vol. II—but all with editorial emendations. A newly discovered sonata by Soler, Sonata por la Princesa de Asturias, has been published by Antonio Baciero. See Baciero/Cuadernos I.

Nin mentions that he had two manuscript versions of the Rondo, one from Madrid and one from Barcelona. He printed the Madrid version, stating that “the Barcelona version includes between measures 94 and 95 a short digression of nine measures which spoils the unity of this exquisite piece.” The other version can be seen in Pujol/Mestres II.
